LIC Bonus Rates for 2015 - 2016

 

LIC has revealed the bonus rates for the year 2015-16 for all of its traditional plans. Since return from LIC Policy is majorly depending on the bonus declared, it becomes utmost necessary to know these rates.

But before knowing the bonus rates let us first understand the kinds of bonus declared by LIC and how the bonus is calculated based on these bonus rates.

Types of LIC Bonusand Additions

There are four types of bonuses declared by LIC. These are:

Simple Reversionary Bonus

What we simply meant when we say Bonus is this "Simple Reversionary Bonuses". This bonus is declared per thousand of the Sum Assured Amount in each financial year by LIC but will be paid at the end of maturity period or on the death of the policyholder, whichever is earlier. For instance if you are holding Jeevan Lakshya Policy with Sum Assure amount of Rs.10 lakhs and policy term exceeding 20 years and the bonus declared this year is Rs.49, then your bonus amount would be Rs.49,000 for current year, but as said earlier, you will get this amount only at maturity or on death.

 One important point to note is that in case you surrender the policy then you will not only get proportionate amount that too if you have paid 5 years of premium in full.
 

Final Additional Bonus (FAB) or Terminal Bonus

This is the second type of bonus declared by LIC termed as Final Additional Bonus (FAB). FAB is a onetime payment and paid only to those policyholders who have policy of longer duration, say 15 years and more, and has paid premium for all 15 years. Usually, policies having Guaranteed Additions are not eligible for FAB. Given below is indicative list Final Additional Bonus.

Loyalty Additions

Loyalty Addition is a non-guaranteed bonus which is given as an appreciation of being a long-term loyal customer of LIC. Usually this is also declared per thousand of sum depending and at the end of the policy term but for some policies it gets declared after completion of certain policy period such as in Jeevan Saral Policy, loyalty additions will be awarded to the policyholders after completing minimum of 10 years. But likewise FAB, loyal addition is also paid at the end of maturity period or on death whichever is earlier subject to completion of minimum policy period.

 

Guaranteed Additions (GA)

Some of the LIC Policies offers a "Guaranteed Additions" which means that policyholder will get an assured amount of sum for a specified period. For instance, Jeeva Shree-1 policy provides a Guaranteed Additions of Rs.50 per year per thousand sum assured for first five years of the policy. Another such policy is Komal Jeevan. Guaranteed Additions are added with the Basic Sum Assured and paid at the time of claim.

LIC Bonus Calculation Formula

Formula of Calculating Bonus amount according to the bonus rate is pretty easy. Since bonus are declare per thousand basis, you have to divide your sum assured amount by thousand and then multiply it by given bonus rate for the year.

Bonus Amount = Bonus Rate X Sum Assured/1000

For instance, Bonus declared for New Children's Money Back Plan (832) is Rs.48 for current year, so policyholder having Rs.10 lakhs sum assured and policy term exceeding 20 years would get Rs.48,000 (Rs.48 X 10,00,000/1,000) as bonus which will be paid at the time of making claim.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

To address this concern, asset management companies have launched Capital Protection Oriented Funds (CPOFs). What are CPOFs? CPOFs are generally three to five-year, closed-ended funds where 70-80% of the portfolio is invested in fixed income securities, which mature on or before the scheme's tenure. The investment in fixed income securities grows to 100% at the end of the tenure, providing the investor with capital protection. The remaining portion (20-30%) is used to take exposure to equity, which provides the upside. Exposure to equities is either by directly buying equity stocks (plain vanilla CPOFs) or by b...

Myths about Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

1) ETFs Are Similar to Individual Stocks: Like MFs, ETF consist of an underlying portfolio of securities that's designed to follow a specific index or investment strategy. Hence, they are as diversified as various mutual funds. 2) ETFs Only Invest in Equity: Since they are listed on the exchange, the general belief is that ETF only consists of equity asset class. Globally, ETFs are available across asset classes – equity, debt, commodities, real estate and so on. In fact, over the past couple of years, India has also seen the emergence of Gold ETFs. 3) All ETFs Are Index Funds: ETF started as a fund which used to track indices and hence they were branded as index funds that are listed. However, ETFs have progressed rapidly and are no longer associated only with passive index funds. Globally, we have seen the launch of actively-managed ETFs. In India, also we recently saw the emer gence of fundamentally-weighted ETFs on Nifty, which busts the myth that ETFs are index funds and can...
